LUX* South Ari Atoll Resort & Villas

The beach and restaurant arrangements were on point. Special Thanks to Daminda for his exceptional service and for making our stay memorable. I want to thank Natasha and Ranidu (Chef), highly appreciate their professional interaction with the clients.

My family of 4 adults had a splendid vacation at LUX South Ari Atoll! Staff were warm and friendly. We are especially grateful to Giada, for her prompt response and making every effort to personalise the activities for my family members during our 6D5N stay. There was an excellent spread of quality food. My husband and I particularly enjoyed the ice cream served by Masud at ICI. We enjoyed the complimentary outdoor photo shoot. A picture speaks a thousand words. The photos will always remind us of how we celebrated life at LUX South Ari Atoll in Maldives. For spa lovers, don't miss out on the Signature Spa Treatment!

The resort was just extraordinary, the villas were modern and clean, well decorated and kept. We tried two villas - the Beach villa and the Romantic Pool Villa. Both were extremely comfortable, spacious and at great locations - very close to all the restaurants and bars. The staff were extremely polite and wonderful, always open to chat and answer any questions. The resort is organising a lot of activities, movie nights, presentations, workshops (coffee decoration and coral planting were amazing), themed food night (the Maldivian night was spot on), we played darts and pool, and backgammon, all areas are very sophisticated and calm. And the food - OMG, delicious, simply amazing, extremely varied and well catered for food allergies (gluten in our case). Both buffet restaurants were extraordinary, we absolutely loved them, and the Senses restaurant had the best views and curries! The resort was so much more than we expected, beaches are pristine and well kept, the seagrass is prevention beach erosion which is awesome since the sand was out of this world – white and soft. And the water – I have never been in cleaner and warmer/better sea/ocean. Kelly was our personal guide and helper on the island, she was incredible in accommodating and organising all activities and bookings for us, even a cake for my birthday. And Nihan – the marine biologist on site, was an absolute treasure, explaining and showing all there is about the ecology and conservation of the resort and Maldives as a whole. We also had a private photography session and the photos we got are out of this word! Highly recommend doing this. The island is very green and full of flora and fauna, which is incredible. They are also improving the house coral reef and there is a smaller one to visit on your own very close to the pier. The experience completely exceeded our expectations, and we could have not been happier.

Perfect nature. Friendly stuff. Excellent villa.

Paradise and wonderfull food and service.
